There are a total of 90 known natural elements, categorized into 11 gases, 2 liquids, and 77 solids. In addition, there are 28 artificial elements that have been produced in laboratories. Notably, all 13 synthetically created elements are radioactive and unstable. The discussion highlights the limitations of human ingenuity in replicating the processes that occur within stars, emphasizing the complexity of elemental creation in nature.

Total how many natural elements known to us?
How many artificial elements produced in the lab?[?]
If look at the table of elements, you should see how many elements we know. So there's 90 natural elements [11 gas (red fill), 2 liquid (blue fill) and 77 solid (black fill)] and 28 artificial elements [outlined].

it should be noted that all of the 13 synthetically created elements are radioavtive (unstable). it seems for all of humananies genius, we just can't outwit the inner workings of a star.
